Default S/S covered plug wires

I saw some stainless covered plug wires on a LT-1 Camaro. They looked way :cool: . The guy said they were ACCELL and cost around $60. They looked to be around 8mm. Has anyone used these? I guess they would hold up to any chafing. Makes ya think a little. :skep: ;)

Yea, these been around for a long time. They're just for show....always looked like a spark leak just waitin' to happen. Actually you're not supposed to let any two wires touch each other,( especially #5 and #7 ) or anything metal.

That's why I made my own looms to hold my 8.5mm wires. I guess the S/S wires are for show, but they did catch my eye.
